Hi everyone..
newbie here... thought of starting this hobby...
need some advice

i saw some plastic car models...
which brand is more likely to get it done? or "user-friendly"? brows.gif
Aoshima or Tamiya? or any other else?

how many types of paint we need to get a model done?
wut equipment else we need to do it?
roughly how much will it cost for the equipment and paints?

i saw all the models are not painted... furthermore the seats, engines and stuff need to be painted..
so i guess it will need quite alot of paints rite?

for beginner i suggest to try other than tamiya.for me tamiya a bit complicated rather than aoshima,fujimi, and etc.just my opinion.aoshima or fujimi kit also bit cheaper compare to tamiya, especially new model.

so saru88, what your first project will be?
*
im planning to get aoshima or fujimi too cuz it's cheaper as im a newbie... tongue.gif

my 1st project? hmm.gif
either S15 or RX7... both oso my all time fav cars! thumbup.gif

S15 normally the body full of stickers...
and RX7 normally the body more plain without complicated stickers...

so wut u guyz think?
